this should have millions of views. it's a tv level quality you'd expect to get, but never get except on youtube now. I'd pay for this suit whatever it costs.
@@kirbyallison that will be awesome! I pretty much only have suits and sportcoarts with the classic American cut so I would love to see an in depth breakdown of other styles of cuts. I know some of the basics of what separates different regions but one can never learn too much!
Great content as ever. It’s lovely to see your relationship develop. You appear to have a good friendship now and that makes the conversation flow with humour. Thanks
Beautiful suit, Jensen is living the life is a true tailoring master! I also would like to point out that at 3:50 Eric said, "it tickles both our boxes," which is something I never thought I'd hear on Kirby's channel! 😂
Dear Mr. Allison, i only recently discovered your channel, and I'm astonished that it doesn't have more subscribers, your work is paramount and very inspiring. I have to say thank you for providing a platform for people with these kind of interests, my whole life I loved male elegance, and tried to practice it to the best of my possibilities; but is nice to know you are not alone and having a place to get information and entertainment is gold. Looking at your channel skyrocket in the next future will be a pleasure. Cheers from Italy Alessandro
i really appreciate you guys going into fine details of Italian suits, i love italian suits. I hope, one day i can afford one of these suits or a whole collection! that would be the dream,
wonderful, cant wait to see it finished, I hope you don't mind, I like to call this kind of suit, an in-between suit, not English but not really Italian.... could be and should be used anywhere anytime, maybe two pair of pants should be made, as am sure your going to using this a lot....lol lol wow brilliant Kirby
Kirby - You should also profile three other BYC tailors, who do true bespoke. Len Logsdail, the Englishman, who is the Dean of US bespoke tailors, Joseph Genuardi, profiled in the documentary “The Men of the Cloth,” and Savile Row-trained Yosel Tiefenbrun, a.k.a. The Rabbi Tailor. Joseph and Yosel are the future of the craft.
Love the video, always great to see Mr. Jensen on the channel! Where in the description is the video on his school of tailoring? I’d love to more about that
I’m a complete novice when it comes to bespoke suits and will probably get negative responses to my opinion. So hears mine ! For me when I see a sleeve raised above the body of a jacket it looks awkward, and ungainly… Personally I would want my top body and sleeve to be perfectly level…
The roped sleeve head (I think this is what you’re describing) is a more formal look. It can add height to your shoulders, actually scrap the can- it does! This helps if you have sloped shoulders. I also feel that the small roll of extra fabric give more room for your arms away from the body of the jacket. Have a look at jackets with roped shoulders on some of the style icons, men’s and women’s and you’ll see the help it gives to a shoulder shape, all the way through to the drama of an exaggerated roll. If you don’t like it, that’s ok as it’s your choice. Just don’t close your mind to it
For sure. I think Eric has certainly further refined his style over the last two years. And having everything made in Rome certainly elevates the finishing significantly.
Depends on which style you like more and your budget. One is not inherently better than the other. Even if you compare houses, it all comes down to preferences.
@@Jim58223 Can be better in terms of the quality of construction. This is something that people don't seem to care about these days and only care about style.
@@stakkerhmnd Again it depends on the house. If you generally want a more relaxed cut Italian, and if you want more structure Saville row. But this can still vary vastly depending on the house. Italian suits are generally less expensive due to labour costs. I don't think anyone going for a bespoke suit doesn't care about quality of construction. Because at that price point the major houses generally have access to the same fabrics and the quality of construction is around the same. It all becomes who you prefer personally. If you want to learn the differences these are good videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aMQpslhkpqU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AwsChvw4aXs.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6vOGu_XtctY.html
@@Jim58223 Many thanks! I've learned a lot from you and I agree on all your excellent points. I will look at the YT links you posted. My only other question is about Italian shoes: everyone tells me that are stylish, but very uncomfortable, expensive and fall apart quickly. That's what made me ask about the quality of Italian suits.
@@stakkerhmnd My pleasure. Regarding your question about shoes, are you going for bespoke, off the rack, or made to order? It would really depend on that, and again it would depend on the maker. A lot of Italian shoes off the rack tend to be blake stitch, which is generally not as durable as good year welted, and they also tend to just glue the sole on sometimes. But that also depends on the maker. Even some bespoke Italian makers do Blake stitch, but I'm sure you can get them to do a good year/360 deg handwelt. It all depends on what you want. But blake stitched shoes and other Italian shoes are known to be more comfortable shoes, that are less formal and more relaxed, just like their suits. So I would say they are not uncomfortable, quite the opposite actually. I would recommend you watch these videos to know the difference: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mQ4doUBkgo4.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Jpm6Xiq7Dic.html
Kirby, I am confused. You say this is your first video shot in your new set, but we’ve been seeing videos come out on this set for a while… Is this an old video that’s been re-released?
